This week’s properties include a timber-frame house in Montana, a contemporary in San Diego and a farmhouse in Massachusetts.Other peoples dreams.
I want a comfortable house with a simple roof.
It should be surrounded by woods with a kitchen garden.
It should be a few minutes walk to my studio.
The studio need not be in sight of the house.
The studio should be on the grid.
The house can be off the grid.
Land lines to both structures.
Fios?

Creating Buildings for Conversations
A reader says we need to give a much higher priority to building spaces where we can hear one another.Acoustic privacy is also a value
An easy way to achieve it is a high level of ambient noise.
A quiet bar is a treasure.
Individual offices should be isolating to encourage concentration.
